Ethnic Relations in Post-Soviet Russia
While the collapse of communism in Russia was relatively peaceful, ethnic relations have been deteriorating since then. This deterioration poses a threat to the functioning of the Russian state and is a major obstacle to its future development. Analysing ethnic relations in the North Caucasus, this book demonstrates how a myriad of processes that characterised post-Soviet transition, including demographic change, economic upheaval, geopolitical instability, and political re-structuring, have affected daily life for citizens. It raises important questions about ethnicity, identity, nationalism, sovereignty, and territoriality in the post-Soviet space.

Anti-natural Framework – II & Its Consequences
This volume of Anti-natural Framework & Its Consequences is a conspiracy theory on how certain scientific findings/principles have been concealed from the world and how alternatives to each one of them have been projected to the world. A few examples of this are: The concealment of the Upright Rectangular Universe and Projection and propagation of the Universally Accepted Running and Moving Global Universe; the concealment of the Sirius Binary System [Two Horizons—West Horizon and East Horizon], Mercurial System [Two Hemispheres —Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere], and Existential Import of the Barrier between Equal and Opposite Natural Mechanisms [Solar System] and Projection and Propagation of the Universally Accepted Solar System as if Sirius Binary System—Mercurial System—Solar System.
Open Knowledge Institutions
The future of the university as an open knowledge institution that institutionalizes diversity and contributes to a common resource of knowledge: a manifesto. In this book, a diverse group of authors—including open access pioneers, science communicators, scholars, researchers, and university administrators—offer a bold proposition: universities should become open knowledge institutions, acting with principles of openness at their center and working across boundaries and with broad communities to generate shared knowledge resources for the benefit of humanity. Calling on universities to adopt transparent protocols for the creation, use, and governance of these resources, the authors draw ...
Conflict and Peace in Eurasia
Focusing on a range of Eurasian conflicts, including Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, this book offers contemporary perspectives on the ongoing conflicts in the Eurasia, with an emphasis on the attempts towards peace. The book brings into focus how various factors such as ethnicity, religion, border disputes, resources, and animosities inherited from the past play crucial role in these conflicts. It questions whether developments in Eurasia affect other conflicts across the globe, and if differences between parties can be resolved without pulling the relations beyond adjustable limits. The book goes on to look at how tricky the path to peace would be, and furthers the development of a framework of study of Eurasian conflicts in the post-Soviet world, while taking into account both internal and external variables in analyzing these conflicts. It is a useful contribution to Central Asian and Caucasian Politics and Security Studies.
HL 118 - Responding to a Changing Arctic
The Arctic is changing. Temperatures in the region are increasing at twice the global average, causing a range of physical and environmental changes. Sea ice is thinning and receding, although the pattern of change is variable, while land ice is melting and flowing into the sea. Responding To A Changing Arctic (HL118) examines ways to respond to changes in the region. Processes in the Arctic have the potential to amplify climate change, causing further warming and further change; the exact nature and pattern of this feedback is difficult to predict and measure. Knowledge of many aspects of the Arctic environment, and how it is responding to change, is limited. The UK is the Arctic's nearest neighbor and has long standing political, economic and cultural ties with states and peoples in the region. Changes in the Arctic will affect the UK; at the same time, the UK can work with Arctic states and their citizens in responding to change.
The Ideals of Global Sport
"Sport has the power to change the world," South African president Nelson Mandela told the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo in 2000. Today, we are inundated with similar claims—from politicians, diplomats, intellectuals, journalists, athletes, and fans—about the many ways that international sports competitions make the world a better place. Promoters of the Olympic Games and similar global sports events have spent more than a century telling us that these festivals offer a multitude of "goods": that they foster friendship and mutual understanding among peoples and nations, promote peace, combat racism, and spread democracy. In recent years boosters have suggested that sports mega-events can ...
The Russia Scare
The Russia Scare assesses the scope, character and extent of Russian interference in the affairs of liberal democratic states. This book examines the ‘Russia scare’ in a dynamic manner, stressing the interaction between threat perception, responses and subsequent policies. What forms did this threat take, what were the instruments used, how effective were the deployed tools and who were the allies with whom Russia worked in these endeavours? Above all, what impact did interference have on target societies? The book explores why Russia engaged in such activities, what the probable chain of command was (if any) and the role of the Russian leadership in all of this, as well as investigating...
The Return of Ideology
As Russia and China leave communism behind, they struggle to forge a new political ideology for a new era
Critical Perspectives on the New Cold War
In 2017, Donald Trump ascended to the highest political position in the United States amid cries that Russia had meddled in the presidential elections. Evidence that Russian operatives had hacked the email accounts of various U.S. political organizations only caused these cries to grow louder. As the relationship between the United States and Russia, along with other big players, such as China, has deteriorated, experts are stating that this constitutes a "new Cold War." In this text, political analysts, government officials, and advocates weigh in on the issue to allow readers to reach their own conclusions about these important political issues.
